Cool! Thanks.

I used this freeware sector by sector copy program...............

I found out the hard way when I tried to copy mine that the Symantec Ghost I
had would not work, nor would the various versions I had on some Bart and Win
PE disks and such.. For some reason the source drive (my VelociRaptor) was
grayed out and could not be selected.
This easeUS freebie worked great, even when I was using an external USB drive to copy too.
It's a small 35 meg ISO that builds a boot CD, and has a nice easy GUI to use...

Subject: Re: [H] SSD Time.............
The problem with waiting...is that I really will be waiting..on a slow HD and
win7!
Too late. My SSD should come today!
Now the fun begins.
Questions: How best to move my C drive (boot + programs) to the SSD? What
software tool does the image best? Running Win7 RC. Will upgrade to Win764ibt
Ultimate soon. I'd actually like to just upgrade over the RC. Is that possible?
Also, can one just move the USERS folder to the D drive and have Win7 track that
move and account for it? There is a LOT of data in that folder that I would not
have on an SSD.
Thanks.

I'm getting one to replace the hd in my dell Lattitude LT...and also for the
boot drive in my desktop.
On the laptop, I send a lot of time waiting for the damn thing to boot up. It
takes so damn long that frequently I don't want to boot it.
On the desktop, Win7 seems to have these long pauses while doing who knows
what on the HD.
Seems like SSD will be the most impactful upgrade for of all time....just
wish the prices were lower and the capacities higher.

Yeah that..... :)
I've told 3-4 people just this week that it now "feels like how the computer
should have responded all along".
You know how on a good system you can open MS Word in say, 3-4 seconds, then
if you close it, then immediately open it again whilst the software is still
cached, and it opens in like 1 second the second time?
Well, that's how the SSD system feels all the time..
Phenomenal...

Pretty much. And once you've used a machine that has a good one (read: one

They so vastly improve system responsiveness, yet at the same time, it
feels
like that's just the way a computer should have been all along.
